When was the last time you ran a antivirus, or ad aware program ??

That is part of zone alarm. It's funnt because on their forum there is no mention of it ..

I been finding mixed emotiions about it on google. Try doing a complete uninstall of the program and reinstall it. When I say complete I mean reg files and such as well.

here is some info on how to do ao complete removal of the program:

First off, the value should be "Mail Safe Extensions" not "mail stafe ext". Be absolutly sure of the exact spelling of that value and check to see if there is another value like it there also.

Your Demo of ZA probably has the "Email Protection" option.

Read this as it explains how ZA "Mailsafe Extensions" works.

You can also run a "reg cleaner" to get rid of any erronious entries or dead ones.
